Currently gcc_release builds GCC (for generating in-tree generated
files) serially - that's prohibitly expensive and takges ages (>4h for
me). I'm using (when I remember to edit gcc_release ...) -j6 without
a problem for some years, thus the following proposal.
Any recommendation for the default N? 4 might work just fine as well
and no release manager should do without at least 4 cores...
Thanks,
Richard.
